It'll come in......

.....useful one day I'm sure but not for what it was originally intended!  You'll just have to tie a knot in it!   We have lots of stuff like this and it's both silly and derelict!

Brother-in-law over for lunch and so not much achieved today though I did manage to retrieve some family information (originally sent to us in 2011) which has answered some questions posed by a cousin of Rs.  Interesting stuff compiled by Rs sister-in-law for her husband all those years ago.
